Well, another winter is almost over and March true to form has come in like a lion, and hopefully will go out like a lamb. At least that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s how March works here in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>But did you know that March behaves differently in other countries? In Norway, for example, March comes in like a polar bear and goes out like a walrus. Or, take the case of Honduras where March comes in like a lamb and goes out like a salt marsh harvest mouse.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s compare this to the Maldive Islands where March comes in like a wildebeest and goes out like an ant. A tiny, little ant about this big. <\/p>\n<p>[holds thumb and index fingers a small distance apart]<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the Malay Peninsula where March comes in like a worm-eating fernbird and goes out like a worm-eating fernbird. In fact, their whole year is like a worm-eating fernbird. <\/p>\n<p>Or consider the Republic of South Africa where March comes in like a lion and goes out like a different lion. Like one has a mane, and one doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a mane. Or in certain parts of South America where March swims in like a sea otter, and then it slithers out like a giant anaconda. <\/p>\n<p>There you can buy land real cheap, you know. And there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a country where March hops in like a kangaroo, and stays a kangaroo for a while, and then it becomes a slightly smaller kangaroo. Then, then, then for a couple of days it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sort of a cross between a, a frilled lizard and a common house cat.<\/p>\n<p>[Chevy Chase tries to interrupt him]<\/p>\n<p>Wait wait wait wait. Then it changes back into a smaller kangaroo, and then it goes out like a, like a wild dingo. Now, now, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not Australia! Now, now, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d think it would be Australia, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not!<\/p>\n<p>[Chevy Chase tries to interrupt him]<\/p>\n<p>Now look, pal! I know a country where March comes in like an emu and goes out like a tapir. And they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even know what it means! All right? Now listen, there are nine different countries, where March comes in like a frog, and goes out like a golden retriever. But that- that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not the weird part! No, no, the weird part is, is the frog. The frog- The weird part is-<\/p>\n<p>[has seizure and falls off chair]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I am reminded of Saturday Night Live Chevy Chase: Last week we made the comment that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
